Angel Goodrich had been scoring 14 points a game for Kansas, but was held to two points on Wednesday, and she did not score in the second half. Carolyn Davis, who had been second in the conference in field goal percentage, made just three of her 12 field goal attempts and finished with six points, four of those in the second period.

Griner, the Big 12 Conference's all-time leading scorer, had 19 points in the first half. Baylor led 45-24 at the break and just blew Kansas away to open the second period. Baylor opened the second half on a 22-5 run, with Pope scoring seven and Hayden hitting back-to-back layups. After a Kansas turnover, Sims heaved a three-quarter court pass to Griner under the basket for an easy layup that gave Baylor a 68-29 lead with 13:11 to play, prompting Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson to call her fourth timeout of the game.

Kansas then scored the next four points, on two free throws by Boyd and a short jumper by Davis. Baylor then went on another run, with Sims hitting a pair of baskets and Niya Johnson making consecutive layups, leaving Baylor with a 78-33 lead with 6:55 remaining in the game. Kansas went nearly five minutes without a point.

Baylor took control early, using a 22-4 run to go up 29-9 with 8:07 left in the first half. Griner scored nine and had an assist during the streak.

Brynn Williamson chipped in 12 points, all from 3-point range, and a team-high seven rebounds for the Cyclones (16-5, 7-4), who shot 49 percent from the floor and were 10 of 24 from beyond the arc. Moody dished out seven assists and had four steals.

Empress Davenport had 13 points for the Longhorns (9-12, 2-8), and Celina Rodrigo and Chassidy Fussell scored 10 apiece. Texas, which entered the game ranked eighth in Division I with a plus-10.9 rebounding margin, was outrebounded 32-31.

The Longhorns scored the game's first basket, but that was their only lead. Texas closed within 25-24 on Fussell's fast-break layup with 4:27 left before halftime, but Iowa State closed the half on a 14-0 run and cruised from there.

Joanna McFarland added 10 points and 15 rebounds for Oklahoma (17-5, 7-3 Big 12), who have won 11 straight against Kansas State. The Wildcats (12-10, 3-7) trailed 63-60 with 2:46 remaining, but the Sooners protected the lead by going 9 for 10 from the free-throw line down the stretch.

Sharane Campbell scored 14 points, Nicole Griffin 13 and Morgan Hook 11 for Oklahoma. McFarland posted her sixth double-double in conference play, tops in the Big 12, and had at least 10 rebounds for the 11th time in 14 games.
